male sterile (with Df(3L)GN34)
male sterile (with ntcf07259)
ntcms771 mutants are sterile. The sperm individualization complex does not form and sperm fail to individualize.
Mutant spermatids have normal axonemes and mitochondrial derivatives at the individualisation stage, but the individualization complex does not form. There is a lack of caspase activation in the mutant spermatids.
ntcms771 has sterile phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4Act.PU/PI31UASp.Tag:HA
ntcms771 has sperm individualization complex phenotype, non-suppressible by Scer\GAL4Act.PU/PI31UASp.Tag:HA
Expression of PI31Scer\UAS.P\T.T:Ivir\HA1 under the control of Scer\GAL4Act.PU does not restore fertility or sperm individualization to ntcms771 mutants.
ntcms771 is rescued by Scer\GAL4da.G32/ntcUAS.cSa
ntcms771 is rescued by ntcWT.hsp83
ntcms771 is rescued by ntcHsp83.PB
ntcms771 is partially rescued by ntcdj.Tag:proteinA
ntcms771 is not rescued by ntcV-E.hsp83
ntcWT.hsp83 completely restores fertility to ntcms771 animals and sperm individualization complexes are normal.
ntcV-E.hsp83 fails to restore fertility to ntcms771 animals and sperm individualization is incomplete.
ntcHsp83.PB rescues ntcms771 male sterility and lack of caspase activation seen in the spermatids of ntcms771 males.
ntcdj.T:Saur\A rescues cleaved caspase staining and the formation of irregular individualisation complexes in the testes of ntcms771 males, but fails to rescue their sterility.
